Amkey 93-0002 starting at $@0 + shipping
« on: Sat, 29 November 2014, 19:13:11 »
It's an odd little board and I haven't been able to get in touch with the seller to pull a cap.  Looking at it, it looks like it's either an unusual profile for MX or it's NMB Hi-Tek (Space Invaders).  The offset LED on caps and the profile of the caps have me leaning toward Space Invaders.

Could be a fun project for someone wanting a keyboard with a built in mouse/trackball like some of the IBM Model Ms.

I do, but sadly not this layout. Since my Access-IS is too big and a smaller matrix isn't showing up on ebay I'm fantasizing about removing some Cherry keys and putting the trackball there instead.

Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

Pretty sure that’s going to be Key Tronic. I would be extremely surpised to find Hi-Tek or Cherry switches there.

My guess is keytronic based on keycaps shape / font and especially the caps lock LED position.
